If you train hard and rest I'm sure you can still make weekly gains at least. Don't worry about the split (you have yourself squatting in two sessions either way) and do some weekly linear progression.

Unless you are doing something in-season now as a competitor, just do westside. You absolutely do not need to bastardize your own program right now. Westside is as good as it gets for a 4 day strength split. Or westside for skinny bastards parts 2 or 3. Both great programs. I stayed with a standard westisde template for years and got big and strong. Lots of people have gotten brute strong from westisde's standard 4 dsy split.

Not necessarily. Instead of reading through the threads here though I would buy the EFS Basic Training Manual, Wenlder's Max Effort e-book, and Periodization Bible by Tate ( http://www.T-Nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/the_periodization_bible ). Read those, get started, and after a few months of programming yourself using those principles then come back to the threads here. It's a LOT less confusing to get your material from one source first then getting other feedback.
